You have my sympathies. I recently lost my cat. I know, he was only a brute animal, but he gave me a great deal of pleasure. He'd curl up on my lap while I read the paper or a book. He reciprocated the affection I showed him. I can't ask more of a pet than that.

Thanks Joe, and sympathies to you as well. It hurts to lose a friend, especially one with whom you shared a home. But happy memories remain.
